Only Embiid and Luka has less help than Jokic. Please don't bring up Harden as Embiid's "help". He's worse than Aaron Gordon now.


Maxey alone is better than anyone playing for the Nuggets sans Jokic

Harris, Maxey, Harden and Green are better than Jokic's present running mates.

Brunson, Finney-Smith, Powell and Bullock are on par with Jokic's present teammates.

Looks like the nuggets have figured the warriors out. Straight sweep of the last 4 games? I think so.

Well we know that based on the lead up to the playoffs. Still may win it all though.

Posting up Cousins on Dray is not a good idea.

Cousins just needs to stop his fadeaway shots.

If a player is strong and/or tall he will bully the Warriors. They look helpless down low. The Nuggets should have done that more from the beginning instead of settling for 3s. They could try Boogie and Jokic together for a few minutes why not.

Cousins missed just a couple of shots the whole series and not just tonight. He is killing them.

2 quick fouls in first 1.5 mins, and an injury. Not the start you're looking for as a Nuggets fan. Warriors gonna feast on drives with Jokic in foul trouble and getting on pace for bonus by the 8 min mark.

Trey Burke would be in the Nuggets rotation and possibly their best guard at the moment
Weird they couldn't find some type of upgrade out there

Jordan Poole has been pleasantly awful the last couple of games. Hopefully, he keeps it up.

I hate seeing star players in foul trouble. I wish they would add a rule where you could designate one player to foul out with 7 fouls instead of 6.

Then the refs would call 4 quick fouls instead of 3 on said guy who never gets fouled.
